Application filed August 23. 1919, Serial No. 319,384. Renewed November15, 1921. Serial No. 515,427.

2"'0 alt' fic/710m 'it may concern Be it known that l, PAUL S. HAUTON, acitizen kot the United States, and a. resident ot' Elizabeth, in thecounty oi? lUnionl andy tit-ate of New Jersey, have invented a new anduseful Calendar, of which the following is a tull, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention relates to calendars and particularly to a calendar to beused on the end of a fountain pen, pencil7 or the like, and has for anobject the provision of a construction which is simple and which isprovided with a minimum number of parts, while at the same timepresenting a per- ,tectly clear and intelligent arrangement so that anydesired date may be rquickly and easily ascertained. y

Another object in'view is to provide a calendar for fountain pens andthe like of the kind commonly known as perpetualk calendars and at thesaine time present an easily operated construction which is completelyout of the way when the pen or pencil is being used.

A further object of the invention is to provide a calendar on the cap ota fountain pen in such a manner as not to interfere with the usual useof the pen or cap while at the same time providing a sliding sleeve forone form of indication and a rotating sleeve for another form oiindication.

In the accompanying drawing: p

Figure 1 shows a fountain pen with the cap at the rear end, said caphaving a calendar thereon disclosing the invention.

Figure 2 a longitudinal sectional view through the cap shown in Figure1, the same being on line 2-2 ot Figure 1, and on an enlarged scale.

,e .je ian. el. vatten.. en the prrteeting Figure 3 is a view similar toFigure 2 ex-` sleeve adapted to t over the cap shown in Figure 7.

Figure 10 is a development of the sleeve shown in Figure 7.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a`fountain pen of any desired kind provided with a cap 2, whichinteriorly is 'of the same general shape as the caps now on the market,except preferably the end is out off and threaded exteriorly so as toreceive the auxiliary cap 3 `or holding the protecting sleeve 4 inplace. The cap 2 is provided with an enlarged'knurled head 5 `forengagement., and with an annular shoulder 6 0n which one end of thesleeve 4 is rotatablymounted, the opposite end being rotatably mountedon the exterior surface of the interiorly threaded sleeve or auxiliarycap 3 (Figure 3). This arrangement permits an easy rotation of thesleeve 4 while the ends are supported. A chamber 7 is provided by theparticular arrangement of the sleeve 4 and associate parts, and in thischamber a` sleeve 8 is mounted, said sleeve being provided with a numberof numerals 9 thereon whereby it may be termed a day sleeve, as thesenumbers indicatethe days of the months. As sho-wn in Figure 6 thesenumbers are arranged in a particular arbitrary manner so as to correctlyindicate the days vof the week when the calendar is properhY set, and'not only indicate the proper days loi the week in any year, butindicate on what day of the week the lirst of the month will be found.'This sleeve is provided with an opening 1() having a roughened thumbmember 11 arranged yadjacent thereto and a numeral or legend 12 arrangedon the opposite side, the numeral in the drawing beingk 19, but it, ofcourse, may be any other numeral desired. In use numeral 19, shown at 12in Figure 6l is associated, for instance, with numeral 19 on theperiphery of the cap 2 sofas to indicate the year 191 9. The sleeve 8 isprovided with a notch 13 :so that as the sleeve is reciprocated, ashereinafter fully described, it will not close orcomev beneath theopening or notch 14. The sleeve 8 is also provided with a cut outportionpresenting a spring structure 15, which is preferably 'bent down'slightly so as toy extend into one of the annular grooves 16 in the cap2. The' 'grooves 16 are thez same 'distance apart as the groups ofnumbers if? en the chart 18 formed or mounted on the surface of the cap2. This chart is provided with a column or line 19 indicating the daysof the month and the number of days in the particular month, whiledirectly opposite and in line therewith is lound a plurality lines ofgroups of numbers 1T coacting with the number 197 in Figure 6. Thesenumbers are positioned in the proper relationship to always indicate theproper number for any given year on any particular day by the numerals 9on sleeve 8, The protecting sleeve 1, as shown in Figure 8, is providedwith apertures 1d, 2O and 21, with legends 22- indicating the days ofthe week` and the word days at 23 opposite the opening 1d so that whenthe numbers are arranged as shown in Figure 1 they will read January 31andthe word days, which indicates that January has thirty one days,while at the saine time the set of numbers 9 is automatically arrangedto show that January 3l.. 1919 falls on Friday, and that the i'irst olfJanuary 1919 tails on l/v'ednesday Vvhen the sleeve 8 is moved over sothat the 197 thereon will come opposite a number through opening 19 onthe chart 1S which represents 19 the numbers 9 will indicate the correctnumbers for the month of January and their correct arrangement in theweelr as shown in Figure 1. rlhe thumb member 11 is intended to projectpreterably a very short distance through the slot 2O so as to be readilygrasped by the thumb or linger whereby the sleeve S may be slid alonguntil the proper number on cap 2 will come opposite opening 10. Beforethis is done the desired month is found first, for instance January andthen the sleeve 8 is slid along until a proper number appears oppositeopening 1() whereupon the calendar is properly set for the month 'ofJanuary 1919, for instance. The groups of numbers 17 as illustrated inFigures 7 and 10 indicate an arrangement which will extend over a periodof seven yea-rs, after which a new group must be provided7 though thearrangement of numerals 9 may remain'the same, and also all the otherparts may remain the same.

To assemble the device the auxiliary cap is unscrewed after which thesleeve 4 may be slid off, and as it moves off it will carrv with it thesleeve 8. thumb member 10 somewhat and exerting pressure on the end ofsaid vsleeve 8 said sleeve will move out of sleeve 4 whereupon all theparts are in a separated condition. To assemble the device a reverseaction is carried out.

is the sleeve 8 moves along during the ordinary operation of thecalendar the turned down endy of spring 15 will snap ,intor therespective grooves 16 for, in a limited sense, locking. the sleeve inany adjusted position. If the parts were arranged as shown in lullig` Bydepressing the,

pasarse ure 1, and the thumb member 11 was pushed toward the point oi:the pen, namely to the lett as lar as possible. the i9 on the sleeve 8would be moved to the end oi' the slot 2U andthe numeral 22 would beexposed through the opening 10, which would indicate the month ofJanuary 1922. rlhis 22" will be seen at the lower .lett hand corner otthe series of numbers 17 shown in Figure 10 and is in the horizontalcolumn opposite December because the notch or window 2O is oiiset adistance equal to the space from one series of. numbers 1T to the ncitseries. ln addition to indicating the year it would indicate that thelirst ot' January in that year will tall on Sunday. lf' the thumb member11 was moved to the opposite ea:- treme position, namely to the end oislot 2O nearest the auxiliary cap 3, the numeral Z179 would appear sothat with the numbi-wr i97 it would mean the year taal and Jans uary 1stin this year would be Saturday.

It would be observed that the entire calendar including cap 2 is formedoit tour separate pieces. namely the cap, the sleeve i, sleeve 5, andauxiliary cap 3. lt `will also be noted that the protecting` sleeve Alis provided with windows 111, 20 and 21, but it' desired instead oihaving` cut out openings as illustrated in the drawing, the sleeve lcould be made of transparent material and colored except for thesewindows. Also other modifications and changes could be made withoutdepartingl trom the spirit of the invention.

lllhenever it is desired to have numerals indicating a calendar for anygiven month sleeve el is rotated around the rap 2 until the desiredmouth is secured. as tor instance January, after which the thumb member11 is pushed until ther sleeve f3 has been shitte'l so that the correctyear will be disclosed through open ig llt as For instance 19 whicha-:lded to the 19 on the sleeve 8 will give the year 1919. TWhen thishas been done the days ol the' month and the series of numbers 9 will beproperly positioned beneath the various weekly designations 22 so thatthe calendar tor January 1919 is ready ttor examination.y the same asshown in Figure 1. The same method is carried out for any month in anyyear for seven years, said years beiA t illustrated on the drawin,e` as19 to inclusive, though any other set of seven years could besubstituted. and it is intended to substitute other years wheneverdesired.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing. the advantages of the construction and method of operation willbe readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the inventionappertains, and while l have described the principle ot operationtogether with the apparatus, which l now consider to be the bestembodiment thereof, l.V desire to have it understood that the apparatusthe months ot the year with two figures in'-v dicating the number ofdays in the month, and a. plurality of arbitrary series of num bersindicating` the last two igures ot any year. a sleeve fitted over saidtubular cap having;` a series of numbers arranged in thirteen verticalcolumns so that any seven columns thereof will indicate the days ot amonth arranged in the order ot the days oi: the week, and a numberindicating` the first two numbers of the year, said sleeve being formedwith an opening adjacent said last mentioned number whereby when thesaid opening` is positioned over any one olf the series oi' arbitrarynumb-ers on the cap it will be read with the number adjacent theopening` on the sleeve lor indicating the year.
